I have a new 85 Pulsar, and really like the car, but am having some strange noises during warm-up that concern me a little. It can best be described as a growling noise, loudest when first starting, and gradually going away when warmed up. The dealer tells me that this is normal with the Pulsar and the Sentras, and due to an aluminum head and some dissimilar metal parts.... differential expansion problems, I guess. Does anyone else out there have any comments, similar experiences, or different dealer explanations? I'd also like to hear any general comments on the Pulsar- I really enjoy this car, although its a bit sluggish when shifting between first and second.
